Opis

Some of the problems faced by acid lime growers are slow, erratic and incomplete germination with high initial seedling mortality. The possible reason of slow germination is presence of the growth inhibitors and physical resistance of seed coat to radical protrusion. The growth of acid lime seedling is very slow in nursery as well as in the field. The increasing germination percentage and producing healthier seedling are major challenges for farmers. Producing plants from seeds are the most important propagation method. Seedling propagation involves careful management of seeds, seed storage period, germination conditions and knowledge of requirements of seed for germination as well as the overall growth. Growing media and seed soaking both are an integral part for most of the horticultural production system. In view of the above fact an experiment is planned on Effect of seed soaking and growing media on germination and survivability of acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle).
